I love going to the zoo as a person just wanting to see your not every day critters and as a photographer because it is a crazy chance to test my skills. Test them against animals in creative hiding places, glass reflections, crowds, and poor animal positioning.
Sometimes I do not get images I am pleased with and that is par for course and others times I am pleasantly surprised by what I manage to capture. This year with Covid still being a thing, and my self injuries I was able to make it to the zoo and survive a day of shooting.
Check out some of my favorite shots below— fair warning the seals, and aquarium are usually my favorites and this trip proved no different.
